"Hundreds
Of Sanders Delegates WALK OUT Of DNC And Launch Protest In Philly
Streets(VIDEO)"

Breitbart reporter Patrick Howley
filed a report on the recently concluded Democratic National Convention. If
parts of his report are news to you, it’s because many in the legacy/ lamestream/ mainstream
media didn’t cover it. Here’s a snippet (and notice all the empty seats in the above photo):

Floor Walk-Out

The walk-out
by Bernie Sanders delegates immediately after the roll call vote was arguably
the most significant act of defiance on the floor in recent convention history.

This reporter
observed the carefully planned walkout from the grandstands a couple sections
over from Bernie’s balcony, where he was busy getting feted for his silver
medal. The commotion on the floor got started around the time Bernie’s brother
Larry was toasting their late parents. My Breitbart News colleague Joel Pollak
was on the packed convention floor texting me the protesters’ next location:
the media center.

The protest at
the media center was intense. Pro-Bernie agitators stormed through the glass
doors while at least a hundred more crowded around inside. These were some of
the top protest organizers on the Left at the top of their game (and
negotiating with the police to avoid arrests).

The media
center (which was just a big tent with no complimentary Wi-Fi) was completely
shut down. How interesting that the top left-wing protesters in the country
would choose the mainstream media’s encampment as the site of their surprise
assault!

The mainstream
media did not know how to handle this chaos aimed directly at them.

At Hillary Clinton’s convention this
week, Democrats have been speaking about a world that doesn’t exist. A world
where America has full employment, where there’s no such thing as radical
Islamic terrorism, where the border is totally secured, and where thousands of
innocent Americans have not suffered from rising crime in cities like Baltimore
and Chicago.

In the Democrats’ fantasy world, there
is no problem with Hillary Clinton maintaining an illegal, exposed server full
of classified information that could have been hacked by any foreign enemy, and
in which Hillary Clinton risked prison time to delete 33,000 emails that were
simply about yoga and wedding planning. In this world, there is no Hillary
Clinton disaster in Syria, Libya and Egypt, ISIS doesn’t merit a mention, Iran
isn’t on the path to nukes, convention stages don’t need American flags, and
our great men and women of law enforcement, our police, do not need to be
honored.

I propose a different vision for
America, one where we can break up Washington’s rigged system, and empower all
Americans to achieve their dreams. In our vision, we will put America First.

If we deliver this change, the future
is limitless and we will Make America Great Again for everyone.

At least one
protester was captured on video lighting a flag on fire and waving it in
the air, while many others shoved the perimeter fence as police pushed
back. The seven
arrested were all taken to the Philadelphia Federal Detention Center and will
appear before a judge later Thursday. Philadelphia
Police Commissioner Richard Ross commented on the incident:

“They were
able to breach that fence. It’s kind of ridiculous in the sense that we were
standing right there waiting for them. They see us. So, it’s not like it’s a
surprise.”

Ross said,
“It’s not like they thought they could get anywhere.”

Ross also
spoke about the consequences saying, “They are now being charged with a federal
offense.”

There are
reports that one officer suffered minor injuries in the incident.

. . .

Earlier
Wednesday, ten people were arrested after staging a sit-in at the Comcast
Building in Center City.

The
demonstrators chained themselves to a rolling gate for nearly an hour before
being removed by police just before 1 p.m. The demonstrators
were cited for obstruction and released.

Police say
they issued 69 citations since the start of the DNC on Monday.

It may get even more chaotic this
evening with Hillary’s acceptance speech.

As for The Sleaze Factor: Some commenters on FB and elsewhere have been
waxing rhapsodic over President Bill Clinton’s keynote the other evening, you know, the one that "humanized" Hillary. In
addition to the harrowing account of Juanita Broadderick’s encounter with him (the
Breitbart story-- reviewing her testimony years ago to investigators for the
Senate Judiciary Committee -- was linked on Drudge all day yesterday), this image
is making the rounds:

The Democratic National Convention is off to a chaotic start, and most Tea Party people will be following the outrageous headlines and reports at Drudge or other favorite aggregators. But this tweet deserves a bit of attention, just so we can keep our senses of humor:

Richard Fernandez (Belmont Club at the PJ Media blogsite)
has a good analysis of the GOP official website statement about Sen. Tim Kaine,
Hillary’s pick for Vice President. Fernandez call it a “stunningly awful”
statement, an almost GOP-lite endorsement of Kaine:

A
Career Spent Taking Cautious Positions

Anathema To The Party's Liberal Base

. . . It is as if Reince
told the interns to "Come up with something that makes Kaine as likable as
possible to our people."

For Tea Party readers who have been following
Sundance’s blogs at Conservative Treehouse over the past couple of years, the
mushy GOP website statement on Kaine comes as no surprise. The GOP
establishment, and party chairman Reince Priebus, are reluctant, at best, to
support Trump’s candidacy. At worst, some of the GOPe are downright hostile to
the Trump candidacy, as seen in the “Never Trump” delegates from Iowa and
Colorado who marched out of the Republican National Convention in a huff.

For Tea Party people who have not heard of the
terms “Uniparty” or “Splitter Strategy,” nor followed Sundance’s “Tripwire”
predictions based on his “Uniparty” analyses, today’s blog on Conservative
Treehouse here gives a handy summary. At the bottom of the article, you’ll find
links to Sundance’s previous blog posts that outlined the “Uniparty” theory,
linked to the new GOP primary rules state-by-state to define the “Splitter
Strategy,” and then calculated the Tripwires or predictions that give credence
to the Uniparty theory. It was the accuracy of the many predictions – in sequence
– that persuaded many readers to change their minds about what was unfolding.
Not politics as usual. (Maybe readers will want to bookmark the page to go
through all the posts linked at the bottom, as time permits.)

Once readers recognized what the “Uniparty” was,
the behavior of the political class, the donor class, and the media became more comprehensible,
albeit more reprehensible. Scrolling through the reader comments at Treehouse
can be helpful and even reassuring; it’s a bit unnerving when we find ourselves
in such uncharted waters.

During the RNC this week, Cleveland has been crawling with paid
protesters hoping to disrupt proceedings, but such efforts have been thus far
mostly unsuccessful. Prior to RNC week, and having attended two meetings with presentations
from law enforcement, Secret Service, and FBI, I was concerned that Cleveland
was still vulnerable. This blog post is to say that no matter what happens
tomorrow, Clevelanders owe an enormous thank you to the planning and
preparations by Cleveland Police Dept. and its law enforcement partners.

Cleveland Tea Party’s roving photographer, Pat Dooley, took
photographs today of many of the LEOs, and spoke for all of us when he thanked them
for their service and efforts to keep us safe. You’ll see photographs of local
and visiting police, mounted police, highway patrols, and others from Ohio
State University, Cleveland Clinic, California, South Carolina, Pittsburgh,
Austin TX, Florida, Georgia, Ohio National Guard, and many others. (scroll down for photographs or visit the entire album here.

THANK YOU Cleveland Police
Dept. and partners!!!

UPDATE at 8:30pm: Geraldo is on O’Reilly at Fox giving credit to Gov. John Kasich for the successful security plans and measures in Cleveland. Whaaaaa huuuhhhh??? Kasich had NOTHING to do with this! Kasich couldn’t even see his way clear to come to The Q to welcome the delegates to the Convention on Monday in his own state. It’s the Cleveland Police Dept. and FBI and Secret Service and law enforcement partners that deserve our gratitude.

If you missed yesterday's America First Unity Rally for Trump, you missed some outstanding presentations. Milo Yiannopoulos of Breitbart delivered an unapologetic and outrageously effective speech on "political correctness" and "Islam." It's up on You Tube here.And Cleveland Tea Party's own Ralph King was in his usual excellent form:

For live streams of the prime-time speakers at the Convention yesterday evening, go to Treehouse's website here. I expected a mostly B-list roster, but the line-up was a powerhouse A-list all the way: Sheriff David Clarke, America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and an elegant and eloquent Melania Trump delivering the keynote, introduced by her husband. And don't miss Gov. Rick Perry's introduction of the Lone Survivor -- Marcus Luttrell's moving and powerful remarks are here. Wow!
